I’ve talked about the FutureGen clean coal initiative over the past couple of years as a promising method to produce hydrogen cleanly and capture the carbon. In December 2007, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced that Mattoon, Illinois would be the home to the first prototype plant.
Yesterday, Energy Secretary Sam Bodman announced that FutureGen may […]

In March of 2007, I had talked about Alternative Energy Corporation (AEC) creating a new method of producing hydrogen cleanly without electrolyzing water or steam reforming natural gas. At that time, I had spoken with CEO Blaine Froats about the chemical process of creating bulk hydrogen and the valuable byproducts this process would also create.
At […]

First there was the rumor of the Israel Isracar (that I’ve been unable to confirm) using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine and now there is another Israeli company called C.En, which is indeed developing a hydrogen car, which I have been able to confirm. Not to put the cart too far before the horse, […]

Over a year ago, I had talked a little about a company called Nanologix that was using the wastewater from Welch’s Grape Juice to produce hydrogen. The pilot project from the Ohio-based Nanologix and Gannon University Professor Rick Diz uses microorganisms to break down the sugar in the wastewater.
The 300-gallon holding tank where the process […]

Hydrogen Energy, a joint venture between BP and the Rio Tinto Group, will be developing the world’s largest hydrogen power plant in Abu Dhabi. The tiny oil producing nation stands to benefit from the hydrogen power plant with lower emissions and increased oil and natural gas production.
The 420 MW plant will steam reform natural gas […]

Iceland’s first hydrogen fuel cell ship, Elding (means Lightning) will set sail soon as part of the country’s SMART H2 Project. Elding will fuel up using the world’s first commercial hydrogen fueling station, which opened in Reykjavik in 2003.
At that time, there were only a few vehicles for the hydrogen station to refuel. Within the […]

I had talked previously about the Formula Zero fuel cell racing demonstration project developed by Godert van Hardenbroek and Eelco Rietveld. I also followed up with a post last September about how a Formula Zero Go-Kart broke the world record by coming in at 11.591 seconds in the 1/8 mile sprint at a top speed […]

There are many uses for a hydrogen generator, from backyard experiments to electrical backup power to automotive applications to high purity uses for the industrial and laboratory sectors and for large power plants. The word “hydrogen generator” can be taken in two different ways. First, it can mean a system that generates H2 gas and […]

The Jesse James of old broke land-speed records by riding his horse out of reach of Johnny Law’s bullets in the Old West. Today’s Jesse James marries Hollywood’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock, builds motorcycles, owns West Coast Choppers and talks about breaking the hydrogen car land-speed record.
The vehicle that Jesse James will be driving this Spring […]

Now, you can get anything you want at the hydrogen restaurant, excepting Alice, or so the Arlo Guthrie song goes. But, what is true is that a large oil company Xynergy Corporation has announced that they will be building eateries all over Nevada powered by hydrogen.
The hydrogen restaurants will be either partially-owned or wholly-owned by […]
